Why each option
CentOS (Community ENTerprise Operating System) is a free, community-supported Linux distribution built from the same source code as Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Raspbian (now called Raspberry Pi OS) is derived from Debian, not Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and is optimized for Raspberry Pi hardware.
openSUSE is an independent distribution sponsored by SUSE; it is related to SUSE Linux Enterprise but has no lineage from Red Hat.
Debian is one of the oldest independent Linux distributions and is not derived from Red Hat; it serves as the upstream base for Ubuntu and many others.
Ubuntu is derived from Debian, not from Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CentOS was created as a binary-compatible rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), using the publicly available RHEL source RPMs. It was maintained by the community and designed to be functionally equivalent to RHEL without the subscription cost, making it directly derived from RHEL.
